Soldier here as well with 14 years service and for some Godforsaken reason still hangin in there. I rememebr the days of Sunday night boot polish sessions while we drank a six pack, Starched the hell out of our uniforms and polished the hell out of our full leathers. It took alot of pride, especially with the one pair you used through every mud sloggin day. They were second skins to us and we would wear them out till the leather fell off. Anyways, thanks for the memories of the old days where it was fun to tape a magnet under a map to see if the compass would go buggy when the butter bar tried land naving. In the end though, even with the new break in time of 4.1 and beyond its always a new challenge with good times ahead amongst good company. Take it easy, I’ll see ya on the high ground.

AMEN!!! Thanks for sharing this story. I’ve heard way too many people lately complaining that wow is boring. I LOVE playing WoW and I have for the past five or six years (I lost count). With expansions and patches and an ever-changing virtual world, sure someone is bound to get hit with the nerf-bat or something might not be exactly the way you want it to be, but it’s still so freaking awesome! It still AMAZES me sometimes when I login that all of those toons gathered around Stormwind, flying on the buildings and on-top of mailboxes so you can’t click on them (LOL)… all of those TOONS are PEOPLE. Well, not including bots and trade trolls, but anyway. It’s just an awesome game and no matter what level you are or what epics you have – some of the places that I fondly remember from the very first time I played are exactly the same and give you that warm, fuzzy feeling – like a comfortable pair of booths.

I wear through a new pair of Danner hiking boots in less than 6 months. As in completely destroy them. Rough countryside will do that.

I hear you on the comfort front. I also have a pair of Justin cowboy boots that have been with me for over 20 years. Many replacement soles, but those boots are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. If only hiking boots were made of decent materials – I hate canvas and cheap leather =(

Nice cammies brother. They remind me of my desert boots. Two deployments in Iraq and they aren’t even brown anymore. Nice post, as always. Semper Fi

Absolutely love the analogy and can completely relate to it. I have found memories of the hours spent polishing my own boots. Great post!!

Such a great post! I’ll never switch a hunter over from leather to mail without thinking about your boots ;)
